HC Deb 02 November 1970 vol 805 c256W
Mr. John

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what areas in Wales he has considered for specification as derelict land clearance areas; and whether he proposes to so specify them.

Mr. Noble

Most of Wales has been designated either a development or an intermediate area, and in these areas the Government has the same powers to pay grant towards the cost of clearing derelict land as in the derelict land clearance areas.
